Lemi to skipper Samoa against Wales

David Lemi will lead Samoa against Wales at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Friday night (kick-off 7.30pm).

The Worcester Warriors ace also skippered Samoa when they limited Scotland to a 16-17 victory in Apia in June.

Last Saturday's 26-12 defeat by the Pumas at the Millennium Stadium was Wales' fourth loss in a row and left them contemplating the prospect of suffering an autumn whitewash with Australia, who beat them 3-0 in a Test series in June, and New Zealand, who haven't lost to the Welsh since 1953, also heading to Cardiff.
